Dental Hygiene Therapist
GDC No. 258051
Dvija is one of the reasons we’re able to provide a better patient experience at Portmore. She’s a gifted dental hygienist and therapist with an easy chairside manner who anticipates her patients’ needs and works with the team to deliver clinical excellence. As a therapist, she is able to treat patients for routine hygiene appointments, restorations and gum disease, as well as paediatric care.
Dvija qualified with a BSc in Dental Hygiene and Therapy from the University of Birmingham. She has attended courses to increase her knowledge in the treatment of periodontics — gum hygiene — in general dental practice as well as achieving a qualification in teeth whitening.
Dvija encourages preventative care with all her patients and believes good oral health education and advice is the key to maintaining a healthy smile. Alongside prevention, her interests lie in restorations and cosmetic fillings.
Noticing the parallels with cosmetic dentistry and aesthetics, Dvija utilised knowledge and skills gained through her dental education to gain additional qualifications to provide aesthetic and skin treatments including toxin (anti-wrinkle treatment), medical microneedling and dermal fillers. A holistic approach is at the forefront of her treatment planning for patients who are looking for natural rejuvenation.
Away from the dental practice, Dvija enjoys baking and pilates.
